CNN (whose coverage is ... not good...) was reporting France's president was at the soccer/football game. He's fine, but he had been there at some point tonight.

Hollande was led into a ministry building I think. No one has claimed anything yet, not at all. But the scale of this thing suggests of course an intensely large and orchestrated attack.

BBC terrorist expert has stated that this is happening to "cause fear." No shit. Furthermore, the plan is:

1) disrupt the West
2) instil fear
3) fear leads to hating muslims, hate leads to muslims fearing for their own lives
4) muslims become radicalised in their fear and being cornered, leading to escalation and retaliation

at that point at yelled at BBC live feed and almost spilled whisky. GOSH REALLY, REALLY BBC. THIS IS NEWS.

There was a blitz at the Bataclan theater. It is now over, some terrorists are dead (even though they should have been tied to horse, dragged through the streets and then subjected to public hanging), no word on the hostages just yet. They shut down the area, I fear the worst.
